In the Old

Testament the children of Israel went to God especially in time of war.

They would get the spiritual leaders together and they would seek the

face of God and find out if and when to go to war.

They would

listen to their spiritual leaders and some time they would completely

shift their strategy in accordance with what the prophets and spiritual

leaders said. They would take the Ark of the Covenant with them into battle

because the Spirit of the living God resided there. They had learned some

very hard lessons so they were very serious about doing what God wanted!

We can do something

about the threat of war, both in Iraq and with terrorists. In the Old

Testament, When the waters parted in the Red Sea it happened as Moses,

who was God's man for the hour, did exactly what God told him to do. As

a New Testament believer, I believe in the "priesthood of believers."

If this is true then I have great responsibility especially now that war

seems eminent.

The battle

before us is a physical one, but rest assured, it is, in my opinion, more

of a spiritual one. This can be seen in the protests. Look at what groups

are supporting the anti-war campaign and look at their agendas. Since

when did the current Hollywood group ever do anything but promote themselves

and give themselves awards? Since when did any of them champion any causes

that promoted anything good in America other than getting their pictures

in the press and saving Whales and trees? Naturally the "Clintonites"

along with all the other "ites" mentioned in the scriptures

will be a part of the "find out what the President is doing right

and be 100 percent against it" group. These are the groups that the

"deceiver" uses to keep America from it's greatest potential.

Never be a part of any of it because you will be working for the deceiver

who will only do you harm.

Did you know

that God's Word says "touch not mine anointed?" I will go on

and say it here. I strongly believe that President Bush is God's anointed

man for this hour. If you don't believe that just think for a moment what

would have happened had the election turned out that Al Gore had won and

then 9/11 hits. Ben Laden would have had a weekly talk show. Don't get

me started here. There is not enough ink or space to print it!

In lieu of

all this, I like many of you received an urgent call for 03-03-30 to be

a "Worldwide Day of Prayer." This effort is led by The World

Prayer Center. They are calling all Christians to a worldwide Day of Prayer

for three minutes Monday, March 3.

Ted Haffard,

President of The World Prayer Team, says his office has been flooded with

messages from people all over the world saying that God is impressing

upon them to prepare to pray on 03-03-03. "These believers do not

know one another, nor are they connected to one another. They do not know

that the others are saying the same thing. Clearly, the Holy Spirit is

speaking to His church, and He is calling His people to pray," says

Haggard.

"As these

reports began to come in, we sensed in our hearts that God wants us to

promote a huge outpouring of prayer on this special date. Many believe

there is significance to this date because of its numerical sequence (03-03-03)

which reminds many Christians of the Trinity. Moreover, the Holy Spirit

has highlighted Jeremiah 33:3 (again, three 3's) as our call to action.

'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable

things you do not know'" says Haggard.

Our church

at this hour will be in prayer and I hope you will join in this effort.

We have pledged to pray on 03-03-03 for 3 minutes. Join us!

My prayer is

that not one drop of blood on either side will be spent. I pray that Saddam

will wake up and realize what awaits him and his Godless regime and go

into exile for the sake of his people! Listen for the Trumpet for time

is short!!
